The Murrin Murrin Mine is a major nickel-cobalt mining operation being conducted in the North Eastern Goldfields, approximately 45 km east of Leonora, Western Australia. The project was initiated as a 60/40 joint venture between Murrin Murrin Holdings, a subsidiary of Anaconda Nickel and Glenmurrin, a subsidiary of Glencore. In 2003 Anaconda changed its name to Minara Resources. In November 2011, Minara Resources was acquired by Glencore. The mine opened in 1999.
